The cottage is fine and in a great location, close to the town centre and was lovely and clean, Zoe the cleaner did a great job.. We thought that the listing for 4 people is a little misleading as the cottage is very small and doesn’t really have facility for 4 people (there are only 3 seats in the lounge and 3 proper seats around the dinning table). I would also suggest that there is very little storage for 4 people to put clothes in.
We have used this cottage before prior to it being with Sykes and don’t think that some of the additions that the new owners have made add anything more. The range cooker in the lounge is too big and a gimmick, my own personal view is I don’t want two pages of instructions of how to light the thing and all the hassle of cleaning it out. There are a few minor niggles that need to be dealt with such as the shower door, and the low light fittings that are a bit of a hazard and the broken door tray in the fridge.
The changes to the rear garden area are great, and this makes somewhere nice to sit outside there are new external doors, new wood floors and a dish washer.
When booking we where aware that this cottage was fine for two people and that is what we found as there was only two of us staying for the week.
The personal touches that the previous owners made such as a bottle of wine on arrival and a small message where gone, this might be something the new owners may look at as it makes you feel welcome and a valued customer and adds a nice personal touch.
